Joseph J. Fata MD

About the Practice

Practice Philosophy

During his years of practice, Dr. Fata has maintained a core philosophy regarding the treatment of his patients:

"I believe that I have a responsibility to do everything I can to ensure that you achieve exactly the result you want, whether you are considering breast augmentation or any other cosmetic surgery. My responsibility begins with the initial consultation and continues to the end of the recovery process. And further: once you have obtained the results you want from cosmetic surgery, we have only just begun our plastic surgeon / patient relationship, and I will always be available to help you in any way that I can."

Dr. Fata's practice encompasses the full spectrum of cosmetic plastic surgery and he has performed thousands of procedures. He has a special interest in breast augmentation and was one of the first plastic surgeons in Indiana to provide a "24 Hour Rapid Recovery Program" for breast augmentation that has allowed women to return to most normal activities the day after surgery. He has since expanded this program to include other cosmetic surgery procedures with no down time, such as the "Ribbon Lift", a variation of the "Weekend Facelift".

Payment Options

Although many patients do pay for cosmetic surgery out of pocket, financing has become an increasingly popular option. To assist our patients with financing, we have contracted with a number of reputable third party companies who can provide financing that is fair and competitive in the current market, including CARE CREDIT®. We also accept VISA® and MasterCard®.

The cost of any procedure can be found on the web page describing that procedure, along with representative "Before & After" photos. In each case the total cost is given as a range because it is based on the time required and not all patients are alike. The exact cost can only be determined after your consultation.
